Broadview police chief Mills and ISP were examining some documents last night before targeting one protester in a small, completely non-disruptive crowd for a bag search. Looks like they're brushing up on ~policy~

It’s wild the agents who have videographers following them never seem to have footage of what they claim those they are arresting did

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

@govpritzker.illinois.gov send the IL national guard with the senators next time and also go yourself. Stop allowing this.

What actual response do you suggest we give to this message?

You are admitting that our constitution is shredded & your authority as US SENATORS means nothing. What exactly do want our response to be?

Maybe you all should be kicking John Roberts door down instead of crying to us.

Man, it's too bad we haven't assigned officers whose job it is to enforce the law. We could call them "Law Enforcement Officers" or something.

And we don't do "get your papers in order" in the US. Maybe Europeans should shut their mouths if they don't know anything about our country or policies.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

One of my college English teachers told me I misspelled "grateful." She said it should be "greatful," because "grateful" means it's grating. I took it to the dean.

This is so profoundly bad that it makes it hard to conclude that it was ignorant rather than malicious Cold War conflating of fascism and communism.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

I'd also like to thank the ones who aren't peaceful, although I've never encountered any of them in the last 8 months of protests

I want to thank all in Chicago and Portland who are peacefully protesting against this horrible administration.
You will always be appreciated..
Much love

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.
